Those plans are to kill for and I love the proportions of her outfit. 

PS: Hurricane Sandy was kind of a crazy event here in NYC, but for all who've been emailing and messaging to check on me, thank you so much for looking out. I am doing well and totally unharmed. Just lost power, internet and phone network in my area so after the storm passed I moved to a friend's place that has all the amenities. All shall be good soon and back to normal. Until then enjoy this DSM post! I love you guys!!!

Prabal Gurung SS 2013: Vogue India

This is one of the stories I covered for Vogue India web this past NYFW SS 2013. Here is the link to the story on Vogue.in. 

Lights Camera Action! On an almost quarter of a mile long runway at New York’s Pier 59 Prabal Gurung sent out his Spring Summer collection lead by model Joan Smalls looking stunning in an all white ensemble of cropped trousers, layered long tunic and a tailored jacket. The collection was inspired by Prabal’s Nepali heritage clubbed with sculptor Anish Kapoor’s work. White, grey, silver and red tones at the show clearly had their derivative from Anish Kapoor’s work and the prints on the blue and red shorts were reminiscent of all the reflections, be it the sky or the inversed street views, on Anish’s silvery mirrored sculptures. 

The silhouettes included trousers that looked like tailored chudidars scrunched at the bottom, long sheer kurta-like tunics but done in an extremely universal way, devoid of specific ethnicity, to enable its relevance in the global market and ofcourse tailored dresses and jackets. Although there was only one red carpet worthy gown in white and silver this season, the series did sport some casual tees and dresses better fit for ready-to-wear which was not that prominent in his last 2 collections. The idea of having a sheer flowy tail to his shorts was refreshing and original. Also the white and red color blocked sweatshirt with the sheer side panels was one of those pieces that could appeal to any wardrobe around the globe. 

Linda Farrow and Prabals’ eyewear collaboration is one of the best collaborations in the industry right now in my opinion. Shaded rectangular glasses in red, black and grey were spectacular and are the first thing on my list of things to get from this collection. In a world where sunglass’ shapes become so repetitive, these pairs are a perfect over-the-top normal.

And thanks Prabal for adopting theatrics in your presentation. The finale with all the models walking the runway as a group in front of beams of dramatic lights was a breathtaking sight and a total turn on. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next season. We shall be there with our red tinted LF X PG Sunglasses!

This guy's style always impresses me. I have spotted him before at NYFW. I have a picture somewhere in my archives which I am going to try to find and maybe show you as another one of his looks! This is what I call OTT done well.

Die Antwoord's Yo-Landi Vi$$er on her way to the Alexander Wang show. Couldn't get myself to just post a normal picture of her. Would be utterly shameful to deliver just that to someone as phenomenal as her. I am going to include one of their videos below. Watch it if you don't know this South African rap- rav duo. INSANITY MAXIMIZED!

Spotted by Socialbliss.com at NYFW. Love this Indian Rupee print Jumpsuit of mine from Retarded Velvet. I have worn it 4 times in the past 2 weeks already. Yes, When I get obsessed, I get obsessed!
